Many of us only know Turkey from its endless beaches.  However the country beyond the Bosporus is wonderfully varied : precipitously high mountains, sub-tropical woodlands, barren, semi-desert  and snow-covered volcano landscapes  are just some of the faces of Turkey, as are the rugged coasts and extensive swamps.  These habitats are all occupied by a multitude of special animals and plants.  For Turkey is a bridge between Europe and Asia.  In the course of history a host of flora and fauna species migrated here.  This film portrays this natural colourful disorder.

Jan Haft, born in Munich,  is an author, director and also cameraman. Having studied biology, he went on to train as a director’s assistant in a film production.  In 2000 Haft founded his own film production firm “nautilusfilm” and has since produced over 20 films for NDR, BR and ZDF.
